Amigo’s Mexican pie recipe

This hearty home-style casserole is similar to a Shepherd’s pie, but influenced with Mexican seasonings such as ground cumin, coriander and crushed chillies. Serve it with a fresh green salad and you have the perfect family dinner.

Prepare mash; add butter, warm milk, and a good pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to hot potatoes and mash until smooth with no lumps.

Top pie with mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in a pre-heated oven of 180°C for 30-35 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot with a handful of corn chips.

Notes:

If preparing this dish for young children use ½ teaspoon chilli only (or remove it completely), but teenagers and adults love the extra flavour so don’t be afraid to use the teaspoon of chilli, it’s warm, but not hot!
